The North East Area Council invites members to a visit to the York Rail Operating Centre, where
we will be given a tour of the signalling floor and control centre.
York ROC is the largest of twelve Rail Operating Centres, opening in stages from 2014 onwards, and will be responsible for much of the East Coast Main Line, along with many cross-country and local routes. Moving control of signalling to the newer, more modern ROC, means passengers will benefit from more reliable journeys as the ROC gives signallers a greater overview of the railway. This will help to further develop a centre of excellence with greater resilience when disruption occurs and is more cost effective to run.
The visit will last for approximately 2 hours.
Places strictly limited for this visit.
Please register by 28th October and ensure that you are free to attend this visit before registering your interest.
When booking, please let us know whether you have any mobility requirements.
Places will be offered to CIRO members only and will be selected by a randomised draw and further details will be given to those who have been allocated a place.
Any questions please contact Liz Walker at events@railwayoperators.co.uk
